[ESS] Option to set Emacs/ESS not to ask for a new or switch to an existing inferior R process

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Hi Vitalie

No I'm not using auto-complete. I updated my ESS installation from github so now I have ess-version: 14.11 [git: 6c62b668422b452aca4aba5ffa089dd7670f9106].  It seems  I'm not bothered by questions about which running R to associate when opening more R script files.

Buuuut, I noticed that having one R script open in a buffer associated with an inferior R process then  when opening a second R script file it seem to be associated to this unique running R process buffer automatically (found out because functions arguments is displayed in minibuffer and this only happens when script file is associated to an R inferior process).

However having two R script files with each having an associated R inferior process then when opening a third script file I'm still asked. See attached png.

Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
